Freezer emptied out, sorted through, and reorganised so you can actually find things. Old items binned, everything else grouped sensibly and put back neatly.
When Your Freezer Becomes a Scary Place
Can't remember what half the stuff is? Bags of mystery contents from 2018? Frozen peas somehow at the back even though you bought them last week? Time to sort it out properly.
💡 Pro tip: If you can't remember when you froze it and there's no label, it's probably not worth keeping.
What Actually Needs Doing
Most freezers don't need organising - they need decluttering first, THEN organising:
| ✅ The Proper Process | ❌ Why Quick Tidies Fail |
|---|---|
| Everything out, sorted by date | Just shuffle things around |
| Dodgy stuff binned | Keep everything "just in case" |
| Similar items grouped together | Random stacking |
| Labels on unmarked items | Hope you'll remember later |
Half an hour of proper sorting beats years of playing freezer Jenga.

What to Expect
Step 1: Empty & Assess

Step 3: Clean & Reorganise
Quick wipe down, then everything back in logical groups. Meat together, veg together, ready meals together - easy to find.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to tackle it yourself? Here's how to do it properly:
🔧 What you'll need
- Cool bags or a cool box
- Bin bags
- Permanent marker
- Cleaning spray and cloth
- 30-45 minutes
📐 How to organise efficiently
- Turn freezer off or set to "super freeze" mode
- Empty everything into cool bags/boxes (keep frozen items together)
- Check every item - if no label or past date, it goes
- Wipe down all surfaces while it's empty
- Group items by type before putting back
- Put newest items at back, oldest at front
- Label anything that's not obvious
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Trying to do it with freezer still full (impossible to clean properly)
- Keeping stuff "just in case" (you won't use it)
- Not labelling new items as they go in
- Stacking items so you can't see what's underneath
💡 Pro trick: Freezer baskets or dividers from the pound shop make a massive difference. Separate drawers for meat, veg, ready meals, and bread. Cuts searching time in half.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
❄️ Old chest freezers can be proper nightmares - everything ends up at the bottom under newer stuff. Worth organising in layers with the most-used items on top.
Doing the fridge too? Might as well get both done while I'm there. Add about 20 minutes and it's all sorted in one go.
In Exeter's older properties, some freezers are original to the kitchen and older than some of the food in them. If it's struggling to keep temperature, organisation won't help - might be time for a new one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I pay someone to organise my freezer?
Honestly? Most people wouldn't. But if you've got mobility issues, or you're sorting a relative's house, or the freezer's just become an overwhelming mess you can't face - sometimes it's worth getting someone else to tackle it. No judgment.
What do you actually do?
Empty it out, check dates, bin anything dodgy, wipe it down, then put everything back in a sensible order with similar things together. Freezer bags, containers, whatever you've got. Takes about 30-45 minutes.
Do I need to be there?
Yes - I'll need you to decide what to keep and what to chuck. Some things are obviously past it, but you'll want the final say on most of it.
What happens to the old food?
That's up to you. I can bag it up for your bin, or take it to the tip if you prefer. Either way it's gone and you don't have to handle it.
Will everything fit back in?
Usually yes, and with room to spare. You'd be amazed how much space gets freed up when you chuck the mystery items from 2019 and stack things properly.
